DID YOU KNOW?

* It takes eight minutes and 20 seconds for the light leaving the sun to reach Earth. (Note: Never look directly at the sun!) The light from our next closest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, takes more than four years to reach Earth!

* The sun actually creates weather in space-a stream of charged particles called "solar wind." Sometimes these particles erupt from sunspots (cooler regions of the sun's surface) as "solar flares" that can knock out power on Earth.

* Our sun rules the solar system on its own, but many stars share their systems with a second or third star. Imagine having two or three birthdays!
